1.In what ways will robots make
our lives better in the future? In what ways will they make our lives worse?

Answer:They can help us do the
kind of activity that we can’t or don’t have time too. They can help us clean
the house, do the grocery, mown the lawn, that’s all the kind of jobs that
people now don’t have to do, because we’re so busy that we rule out those things.
Other things that they can do is accompany us anywhere. For example, going for
a walk in the park, or they can help us walk our pet because we don’t have time
to do it.

But, robots will make our way lives worse because
they are smart and they can even be smarter than us human who mode them want
them to be great and smart. If they can do our job than what are we gonna do? We’re
getting lazy because we have robots that can do everything and anything we
order. Those kind of things can also impact our health, because we wouldn’t
want to do anything.

2.What kinds of robots would you
like to see?

Answer:We would like to see robot
cars. Those type of cars that can drive us anywhere, the one that don’t need
anyone behind the wheels. With just simple tap and navigation they can drive us
anywhere.

3.Look the list of jobs below.
Which are you happy for robots to do in the future? Why or why not?

a)Airline pilot. I’m not happy
for robots to do airline pilot job. Because too dangerous if something bad
happen in airplane. Robots can’t feel and thinking like the human in emergency
situation on air.

b)Cook. I’m happy with this. Because
right now, so many people want all about anything with the fast response. If robots
to do cook job, all will be fast, some of the food will be cooked at one time.

c)Doctor. I don’t agree with
this. Because it isn’t always patient in stable condition. Sometimes people make
mistakes during the surgery, so we only need a human doing this job.

d)Police officer. Actually I don’t
agree with this. Because I think only human can do this job. Robots don’t have
feelings. But robots can help the human police to do their job. For example,
robots can search for criminals using x-rays in a hidden place.

e)Singer. I think this is a bad
idea. Robots can singing, but that is just program. It have some weakness. Don’t
have feelings, can’t thinking like human. So, robots can’t live singing.

f)Store clerk. I agree with
this. Because so many people want all about anything with the fast response. People
can searching what they need with the computer, and they can pay by putting a
shopping card in the machine reader with Radio Frequency Identity (RFID)
system.

g)Taxi driver. Yes, I agree with
this. Each robot car has a navigation tool or GPS. So, I thought it would never
happen accidents on road.

h)Teacher. I’m happy with this. Because
robots can’t be angry. So if the students don’t understand it doesn’t matter. And
we can ask the robot repeat the lesson until we understand.
